I bet burgers and anglos who visit there are annoying as shit with the 300 memes.

>>211732644
I'm sure the philosophers and boy lovers of Athens enjoy a nice mild pussy climate right?

>>211732691
nah athens is hot af too, just not as much

>>211732580 (OP)
Only unlimited migration from Africa can save Sparta

>>211732656
The town itself is a fake meme town the Greeks refounded like 200 years ago for LARPing purposes anyway

>>211732580 (OP)
the movie came out in 2006 tho

>>211732644
Place looks grim af not gonna lie

>>211732656
There is nothing to visit but a random hill, it's underwhelming. Spartans said "we do not need walls, our warriors are the walls" etc so as a result it's like an empty terrain. Probably the only place in Greece without touristic ruins.

would make the ancients proud

>>211732806
Ah that's interesting, if disappointing.

>>211732762
Not completely. There was continuous settlement there from antiquity to the middle ages to the 1800s the king just ordered it expanded into a larger town.

>>211732806
There's the remains of the Byzantine town nearby (Mystras) and some seriously kick ass nature (Taygetus).

>>211732644
how did they survive back then when it got that hot

>>211735853
Μέλας ζωμός.

>>211735853
Same way I survive in my shithole with no AC every summer

>>211735853
the spartans made helots do all the work for them

>>211732802

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

>>211738633
Every house in Ellada has AC I honestly can't imagine surviving summer without it.

>>211738982
i dont have one because i have trees do you live in one of these?

>>211738982
i dont have one because i have trees do you live in one of these houses with the MAGIC insulation that needs an ac running 24/7?

>>211739425
I live in a polykatoikia. But this summer I haven't really used the AC much so far.

The main town during Medieval and Early Modern times was Mystras a few km west of Sparta, probably due to being on a mountain and thus easier to defend. The inhabitants of modern Sparta mostly come from there + villages in the general vicinity.
>>211732644
Exaggeration, but it does get very hot, and the fact that it is not near the sea and there's a river running through does nothing to mitigate it

>>211732656
This is what I call Anglo Derangement Syndrome folks, sad!

>>211738633
Why not get a minisplit for your room at a least? that's how we do it. Or is electricity too expensive there?
